Task 1
Read the text and questions below then choose the correct option, A, B, C or D.
Going Green
How green are you? Being green used to mean that you were young and inexperienced. Now
people who call themselves green seem to think that they know better than the rest of us. But
just how wise are these new Greens? How well do their ideas work in practice?
Take the example of what happened this week to Donna Challice, mother of three, from
Exeter. She was actually taken to court by her local council for not recycling her rubbish. She
was charged with putting food in the green recycling bin which is intended for cans, paper,
plastic and glass. She faced a fine of up to £1,000 and the court case cost much more than
that.
What a waste of the Court’s time and money. The reality is that recycling household rubbish is
a waste of all our time. It takes hours and makes very little difference to the planet. Only 5%
of our waste is made up of household rubbish, while a massive 60% is agricultural and
industrial. Why doesn’t the council do something about that first!
And it isn’t only local government that is anxious to be green. We are surrounded by green
thinkers. Have those people who refuse to accept nuclear energy thought about what
renewable energy means? They say that 20% of our energy has to come from renewable
sources such as wind and solar power. Can you imagine what our countryside will look like?
There will be forests of giant wind turbines and nothing in the fields except oilseed rape to
make bio-fuel. There is no real alternative to using more nuclear energy, so why don’t we
focus on building new safer nuclear plants?

Q1 The expression ‘being green’ Q4 From the article we learn that

A has changed meaning over the years.
B describes a person who knows many things.
C is only used for young people.
D refers to people who are creative.
Q2 We learn that Donna Challice
A recycles everything she can.
B puts food in the wrong bin.
C has to pay £1,000 a year for recycling.
D only recycles glass and plastic.
Q3 According to the writer, recycling household
rubbish
A is difficult.
B is a good use of our time.
C is ineffective.
D makes a big difference.
A there is 5% more industrial than
agricultural waste.
B agriculture produces more waste than
industry.
C the majority of waste does not come
from households.
D 60% of household waste is taken away
by councils.
Q5 What does the writer say about nuclear
energy?
A ‘Green thinkers’ do not like it.
B It is safer than other energies.
C It produces 20% more energy than
other sources.
D It makes the countryside look ugly.

Task 2
Read the text about Meera Syal. First decide whether the statements (6-13) are true (T)
or false (F) and put a cross (x) in the correct box. Then identify the sentence in the text
which supports your decision. Write the first four words of this sentence in the space
provided. There may be more than one correct answer; write down only one. The first
one (0) has been done for you.

Meera Syal
Recently, Meera Syal was named as the most influential black or Asian woman in Britain by
Good Housekeeping Magazine. Born in Wolverhampton in 1962, soon after her parents
arrived in the West Midlands from Delhi, she was the only Punjabi girl in the village and she
was desperate to fit in. She often tells interviewers that she used to really want to be blonde
and called Sharon. She was far from happy with who she was. Yet today she is one of the
best-loved actresses and writers in Britain.
Her parents had expected she might become a doctor or a pharmacist. But Meera was
determined to follow her own path. When she was just eighteen, her mother developed cancer
and was given six months to live. Luckily she survived, but the experience left Meera even
more determined to make the most of life. Meera studied Drama and English at university but,
oddly, didn’t actually do much acting, saying that she wasn’t picked for the good parts. When
she finished her first degree, she decided to write a play for herself to take to the Edinburgh
Festival. The play, One of Us, won a national award that same year.
Her big breakthrough came in 1996 when she teamed up with friends to write and perform in
the hit comedy show, Goodness Gracious Me, which laughed at both Indian traditions and
British prejudice. That same year she published her first novel, Anita and Me, based on her
childhood. Amazingly, both won awards and Meera became famous twice over. The following
year she was awarded an MBE by the Queen.
Since then she has written another best-selling novel and both of her novels have been turned
into films.
